A Warm Welcome to Rochester Independent College.
Rochester Independent College is a school like no other. Our unique campus and friendly staff make the college feel more like a home than a school. There is no uniform, no bells ring, and everybody is on first-name terms.
However, that doesn’t stop Rochester from being one of the top schools in the UK for student progress at A-level. And it doesn’t stop us preparing our students for success: their hard work and first-class results mean they go on to win places at a wide range of top universities.
Most students at Rochester Independent College join us from Kent, London, and other areas around the UK. However, we welcome a small percentage
of international students every year, who contribute diversity and global perspectives to the college. No matter where our students are from, they find Rochester to be a place that lets them search for their own answers, voice their opinions, and think critically, creatively and independently.
We warmly welcome you to see for yourself what Rochester can offer.

Academic Study.
What is learning like at Rochester Independent College?
• Teaching is similar to a seminar or tutorial at university. Rather than individual desks, students gather around a table where tutors encourage them to discuss different aspects of a topic critically.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/220927111931-981983ee44cb9923b9f636a717ea51ce/v1/9c619c3bb3f413adfaab6bf843554cd4.jpeg)
• Classes are an average of just eight in size, and students have between five and eight hours contact time per subject, per week.
Courses
A-levels (Sixth Form)
A-levels are the main school-leaving qualifications in Britain, and are globally respected. At Rochester, three or four A-levels are studied over two years from a choice of 40+ different subjects, with no restrictions on the combination that can be taken.
• All students in Sixth Form have a Personal Tutor who they meet with regularly to discuss progress, targets, and future aspirations. Students also receive one-to-one tutorials and study support sessions, where they can address any areas for improvement.
• Formal reports are regularly sent to parents, and Personal Tutors can be contacted via phone or email with any questions or concerns.
GCSEs
GCSEs are the precursor qualification to A-levels and are usually taken in multiple subjects (from a choice of around 30) over two years. English, Maths and a Science are compulsory and all other subjects are optional.
Rochester offers variations on the main two-year A-level and GCSE options, including:
• One-year A-level courses
• A-level preparation programmes
• Re-takes of qualifications for students who wish to improve upon past results.
English Language Teaching
Expert English language support is readily available to international students who would like to improve their language skills or prepare for an IELTS exam. Classes are timetabled alongside academic subjects, and students work in groups with those at a similar level for the best possible progress.
• One and two year GCSE courses
• Specialist Medical Courses
• Specialist Creative & Digital Media programmes
70% of our students are native English speakers, which means it is natural for all our students to use English as a common language, improving their language skills.
Students have a huge choice of subjects at Rochester – and can study them in any combination..

University Support.
Winning a place at a top university is challenging, but our programme of tailored support gives students the best chance of success. A typical programme may run as follows:
Beginning of Year 12/A-level:
A Tutor is assigned to every student in the Sixth Form to offer careers support and guidance on UCAS personal statements, applications, and references.
Year 12 Autumn Term:
International students prepare short talks about themselves and their plans for the future. This helps them articulate their aims and get quality feedback from a variety of sources.
Year 12 Autumn Term:
Visits to top universities in London such as the London School of Economics (LSE) and University College London (UCL), as well as UCAS exhibitions to learn about the different courses on offer.
Year 12 Spring and Summer:
Students attend personal statement workshops for guidance on careers, universities, and suitable summer holiday activities and work experience.
Year 12 Spring and Summer:
Students may also receive guidance and support from industry-leading experts at our sister companies at Dukes Education specialising in Oxbridge, Ivy League & US, Medicine and Law applications and work placement.
Beginning of Year 13:
Tutors, Heads of Sixth Form, and specialist UCAS staff work with every student individually to create strong university applications in the year before they apply.

Rochester is situated 37 minutes southeast of London by train in the county of Kent. With its charming cobbled high street, castle, cathedral, and a range of vintage shops, bookstores, and cafes, the city is an idyllic place to study. It also enjoys excellent transport connections, with Gatwick Airport 50 minutes away by car and Heathrow Airport 70 minutes. For Paris and Brussels, the Eurostar can be boarded at Ebbsfleet International just 10 minutes away.
The college itself is based in our enclosed campus of historic Georgian and contemporary buildings. Our awardwinning gardens, student allotment, underground theatre space, singing musical gates and Mathematics garden house all add to the college’s unique and homelike atmosphere.

Boarding & Student Care.
We make student welfare our priority and aim to create a place where everyone feels welcome. At Rochester, teachers treat students like adults, building mutual respect. The result is that many students say they have never been happier at school.
International students are fully integrated in all aspects of the college. From academics to life outside the classroom, Rochester has an inclusive, unified student body. From 2023 a brand new state-of-the-art boarding village will be opening with ensuite study bedrooms.
Life as a Boarder
Up to 120 of the 360 students at the college board each year. As boarding pupils, students will be part of a close, supportive community. Students all live on-site in single rooms (with some en-suites available) and breakfast, lunch, and dinner are freshly prepared on the premises. Boarding houses also have comfortable common rooms where film nights and other social activities take place every week. House Parents (Tutors who live in college) are always on site, ensuring there is someone to talk to and oversee the students at all times.

Support and Wellbeing
Student care at Rochester is based on developing each student’s interests and helping them achieve as much as they possibly can. Personal Tutors have regular meetings to monitor students’ wellbeing and discuss progress, targets and future aspirations.
At Rochester we know that academic and personal development comes naturally to happy students.

“The boarding staff are a very friendly team and they instantly make you feel comfortable. My experience as a boarder has been a truly positive one.”

Outside the Classroom.
Rochester also organises trips outside college, designed to link students’ academic studies to the wider world. These create a broader and more rounded understanding of a subject, which in turn can give students an advantage in their university applications. Activities have included visits to galleries, theatre and museums in London, trips to Bath, Oxford and Shakespeare’s Stratford, surfing in Cornwall, a graffiti tour around London, a hiking trip to the Brecon Beacons and a day at Brands Hatch racing track.
Clubs
The college offers clubs from chess, coding, drama, textiles, and film to yoga, photography, Dungeons and Dragons, running, and basketball. We also frequently create new clubs when students express an interest.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/220927111931-981983ee44cb9923b9f636a717ea51ce/v1/49fa07bc311d63c144390d51477335d5.jpeg)
Sports and Fitness
All students are encouraged to stay fit and active. Onsite Rochester has its own MUGA (Multi-use games area) and well-equipped gym. The college also uses Medway Park – a multi-million-pound sports facility with swimming pool, athletics track, sports centre, fitness suite, and spa. There are also school teams for football, sailing trips and opportunities to try fencing or climbing.
The Arts
Rochester is one of the leading creative boarding schools in the UK, and our Arts staff are all practitioners with industry and studio experience in Filmmaking, Fine Art, Illustration, Graphic Design, Digital Media, Photography, Fashion, and Textiles. The school also has its own 100-seat theatre for small-scale productions.
Music
Individual Music lessons are taught by peripatetic staff and there are rooms to practice individual instruments. Musical groups are active in college and there is a Rochester Summer Festival where Performing Arts students often showcase their talents.
Our students have a huge choice of activities and clubs outside of lessons, for enrichment, personal development… or just for fun!
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/220927111931-981983ee44cb9923b9f636a717ea51ce/v1/c23df6a48ae89c68149924ad6ca72dd1.jpeg)
Rochester achieves superb results despite being non-selective in admissions. In our experience, students can succeed at Rochester regardless of success at previous schools.
![](https://assets.isu.pub/document-structure/220927111931-981983ee44cb9923b9f636a717ea51ce/v1/db3ef17159447275649b5c22b72cad25.jpeg)
